Gemini Live hitting Samsung phones internationally!
Gemini Live seemingly hitting Samsung phones internationally. Google has been sequentially expanding Gemini Live functionality to free Gemini users. It was previously available for Gemini Advanced subscribers only.
Not only Samsung, but all Android phones could now use the Gemini Live feature. Just trigger Gemini Assistant and you will get a new toggle added at the bottom right. It will also be featured in an in-app notice for better understanding.
Integrated within Gemini, Gemini Live is a free-flowing, conversational way to interact with Google’s AI by talking, rather than typing. It allows users to interrupt, switch topics mid-conversation, and receive spoken responses seamlessly.
Just got Gemini Live on my Xiaomi 14T Pro as a free user!
Google announced earlier this month that Gemini Live will be rolling out to free (non-Gemini Advanced) users. Some users got it last week, but it seems to have more widely rolled out in the past day from what I've seen.… pic.twitter.com/3jFXGxKBpa

Gemini Live is Google’s answer to OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4o. However, it is a much easier way to interact with AI useful for brainstorming, discussing topics, conducting research, and eventually, setting appointments and finding directions.
At present, Gemini Live supports the American English language only. There are different voices (with different tones) available to select during setup. If you are unable to change the voice, try changing Gemini’s language to English (United States).
Samsung has its own virtual assistant called Bixby, which is powerful enough. However, most Galaxy smartphone users keep Google’s Gemini (previously Assistant) default and Google’s making it a must thanks to integration of AI.
Circle to Search is another epic feature widely available in Galaxy phones. This unique way of searching saves a lot of time and makes searches easier and effortless. We are expecting even more epic experiences in the future.
